First of all, I would like to thank all of the teams that have helped us out with our rookie year: Team 48, 379 and 1038, we couldn't have gotten as far or done as well as we did without all of what you all have done to help us. I speak for all of team 3138 when I say you all deserve a huge thank you for all of your efforts.
And also, thanks to the other teams that have congradulated us on our winnings in this thread: 1503, 2252, 2614 and especially 1279 for choosing us for the Elimination matches, and if not for our wheels breaking, we were sure we would've been more of a help in that final match, but I still feel that our alliance was solid in itself.
I believe that Pittsburgh was the absolute best spot for us to start out at our Rookie year because it gave us a good solid base with knowing about all of the rules and gameplay of matches, and all the interations with other teams. Everyone on our team that attended had a blast there, and hopefully we'll be making a return there next season. Also the team interactions while matches were going on was awesome, and being the one to help lead the cheers at the Final Elimination matches, my voice was not only full of scratchiness for the night, it was also full of giddy-ness at how everyone reacted to us on our Rookie year.
Also, we have our robot shipped off for our next tournament in Cleveland, and are currently working on ways to improve our robot to make it so we are still a tough competitor there. For all teams going there, I would like to say I will be happy to see you there and to interact with all of the teams again (and maybe work more on my button suit of armor too
). For all of the teams that were at Pittsburgh but aren't going to Cleveland, we wish you luck for the rest of the season, and hope to see you in Atlanta in April!
Once again, thanks to all the teams that have helped us get to where we are today. Thanks again!
